Don Surber on the election (h/t Bill Keezer)

From here:

I don't know how much Mike Braun, Ron DeSantis, Brian Kemp, or Rick Scott paid Obama to campaign for their opponents, but whatever the amount was, they got their money's worth.

Obama elected more Republicans than any other Democrat president. His streak continues in his post-presidential years.

The testimonials for having Obama campaign for your opponent write themselves.

Braun was down in the polls by an average of 1.3 points for the Senate in Indiana. Obama campaigned for his opponent. Voila! Braun won -- by 9.7 points.

DeSantis was down in the polls by an average of 3.6 points for governor of Florida. Obama campaigned for his opponent. Voila! DeSantis won by 0.7 points.

Scott was down in the polls by an average of 2.4 points for the Senate in Florida. Obama campaigned for his opponent. Voila! Scott won by 0.2 points.

Only Kemp was ahead in the polls. But Obama offset the Oprah Effect because she is a goddess who saves Democrats. Heck, she even got Obama elected.

Obama went 0-for-4 in major campaigns.
Ouch. Of course, everyone's spinning the stats their way. A leftie coworker of mine told me that this is the first time in a long time that the composition of part of Congress flipped despite the people's overall great satisfaction with the economy. Liberal spin: this is bad news for Trump because there are factors other than the economy that voters are considering when voting. Take that for what it's worth.
